Officers were called to the 900 block of West Missouri Street Wednesday evening after animal control officials received complaints of a barking dog.
When they went inside the detached garage they found an emaciated dog.
The homeowner told police that she didn’t know the dog was in there.
She said that Odin belonged to her boyfriend Charles Utley.
Odin’s ribs, and spine could be seen by officers and part of the skull was sunken in.
Odin didn’t have access to food, water, bedding, or heat.
Utley was arrested and charged with animal neglect.
